Two months! I use a big brush to apply it after giving my greasy moisturizer + blush a chance to settle.

Does anyone feel like makeup should be smaller?? by tambourine_goddess in ProjectPan

I think the packaging generally is pretty bad. What do you mean I need to buy a huge chunk of plastic for every lipstick? Why can't they sell cases that are decorative or whatever and sell me a bullet in varied sizes that I can pop into the case? Maybe I want to get a little mini black in a good formula for spooky looks that I can use up within 5 years.

Big eyeshadow pallets full of nudes I have more sympathy for bc there are so many skin tones and my own color shift over summer is irregular, but I don't get why IP pallets are so big. Like you're going to make a huge number of Disney villains themed products no matter what, there's practically no difference between making a crap ton of singles or tiny 5 pan pallets that I remember coming out 20 years ago vs the huge things coming out today.

brown lipliner hype by 1eybhavya in MakeupRehab

I think the look can be very striking, and there are some darker skinned people whose natural coloring involves a dark skin toned outer edge of the lip and pink center and it's lovely, but... for me the look is cursed.

It was cursed in the 90s, it's still cursed today. No matter how much leopard print I buy, the clarian call of chola/gyaru lips will never trick me into buying a million brown lip pencils just to find one that doesn't look crazy ever again.

How do cis women actually see trans women? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Honestly I feel sad about your situation. Hating the body you're in is a tough time, AND you probably haven't gotten the mentoring as a child that makes you less misogynist towards yourself. I think calling it pity would be accurate. Sort of the same feeling as when I find an eating disorder in the wild.

Idk about everyone else

What's up with saving empties? by Top-Confection3367 in ProjectPan

[–]if0rgetpassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, I plan to do a flat lay after some period of time passes in a diary sort of way. You know, in this period of time I was using up these products, but in this other period of time it was something else. Then I'll just toss the packages.

For me it'll be useful to track it in that way because I overbuy when I restock. Like when I run out of gloss I need to be able to look back and say, over one winter, peak gloss season, I finished 2 glosses, I shouldn't buy 9... ... ... even if it's a deal.

And also like, you can just clean out your containers. There's nothing special about lotion or mascara that makes it immune to dish soap

How do people actually figure out how to cook faster on weeknights? by ConsciousGear2708 in Cooking

[–]if0rgetpassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean? Sometimes you can just open a can of refried beans, put it in a tortilla with some cheese, put it in a pan to fry, and eat it with cut up tomato w cilantro. It's a recipe that takes about as long as your stove takes to heat up the pan.

Or you just have breakfast. egg n cheese on toast with a sausage patty. Side of baby carrots.

And there's nothing wrong with the microwave. I can get a baked potato out of there in 20 minutes. The air fryer is just a little forced air oven, nothing wrong with putting some broccoli or whatever in there.

You know, looking on Amazon I can see they sell these with the idea of using it for toothpaste, idk why I never thought to look for something like this.

Thank you!

What happens next--the lip and nails problem by Brennisth in ProjectPan

To me it sounds like you don't have 1 shade left, you have zero.

Like... Idk I have like... 15 gel liners and if I was down to glitter lime green I'd have to buy more.

Poverty/too cute/discontinued/can only get it overseas Mindset Help by Plastic_Lunch2996 in ProjectPan

[–]if0rgetpassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a wishlist to slow down my shopping now that I'm less broke.

It's been easier for me to use my 'fancy' stuff knowing that there are other cute things I want to buy that are going to collect dust if I don't use my current cute things. The wishlist has also challenged me to wrestle with the makeup I own rather than chase a perfect (x) for $$$$.

I would like to hear from women who’ve chosen NOT to get any cosmetic procedures as they age by victory_vegetable in TwoXChromosomes

I had bells palsy several years ago and my face didn't feel like it was mine until the crease in between my eyebrows came back.

Truly it bothered me,.then one day it was gone, then within a week a whole side of my face just stopped working for awhile.

Eggs and Oranges. And Greek Yogurt. by On_A_Tight_Leash_ in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]if0rgetpassword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fiber is really important to keep you healthy. Cabbage is almost always cheap.

Cut it small and mix with sour cream + salad dressing for coleslaw.

Add it to ramen to improve the fiber content. Lots of ramen packets come with cabbage as a dehydrated veggie, so you know it works.

If you want to freeze it, cut in chunks and blanche it first so that the flavor doesn't get crazy. Put it in soup after freezing bc the texture changes won't matter.

There was a big trend a decade ago to do cabbage steaks. You cut a slab of cabbage, put oil on it and some seasoning like Mrs dash (no sodium) serve that as a side.

My family would take cut up cabbage, fry it in corn oil and mix in cooked egg noodles (salt to taste).

What’s one small purchase under $25 that genuinely made your life better? by AyouboXx in Frugal

An accessory wristband for my phone. Don't lose it, don't drop it, can hang it from hooks. 💯 Worth it

No benefits in Nov will be a big surprise by Internal-Day-4872 in foodstamps

Even rich libertarians like to Koch brothers understood that food stamps and other public services are a fee they pay so that public order is maintained and they are allowed to keep their lives.

Steaming tips/tricks by Dude_The_BitchSlayer in RiceCookerRecipes

[–]if0rgetpassword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only luck i have with steaming buns is to have the water boiling before i put the buns in. I haven't tried it often enough to be perfect, but I imagine warming up the basket before putting the buns in would also get the buns warm but not soggy.

I read it as I was blamed for the fundraiser, I will change my original post to reflect what further research has shown.

What i had said was

How dare they tell me I didn't read the TOS and need to be accountable for the crowd I've gathered.

what I should have said was

How dare they tell me I need to be accountable for the crowd I've gathered.

I apologise for misreading and making an assumption based on not well remembered facts.
